I like this a great deal. It has a very…authentic feel, and i love the woodcut. It also raises some interesting questions. Is the the ancient roots of The Foundation, or just a parallel evolution? I like, +1.

I did a good deal of research on the use of the long s for this piece. The syntactic rules varied a lot over time, and at the end of the 18th century I'm pretty sure it did appear at the beginnings of words. If someone more schooled on this topic can shed some light on it, please do so.

One of these days I'm going to write a similar historical document (minutes of a Meeting of the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge in which Certain Items of an Incongruous Nature are Presented and Discussed).
